The word Calculus comes from Latin meaning "small stone", Because it is like understanding
something by looking at small pieces.
Differential Calculus cuts something into small pieces to find how it changes.
Integral Calculus joins (integrates) the small pieces together to find how much there is.

Solving differential equations:
Separable y’ = f(x).g(y)
Homogeneous y’ = (y/x)
Integrating Factor
Exact M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy = 0 M(x) = N(y)
Linear y’ + p(x)y = q(x)
Direct y’ = f(x) and y = ∫f(c)dx + c
Substitution dy dy du
dx = du dx
Classify Before Trying To Solve: Ordinary or Partial

"Ordinary Differential Equations" (ODEs) have a single independent variable (like y)
"Partial Differential Equations" (PDEs) have two or more independent variables.

Ordinary Differential Equations

Order and Degree The Order is the highest derivative (is it a first
derivative? a second derivative? etc)
The degree is the exponent of the highest
derivative.

Linear
It is Linear when the variable (and its derivatives) has no exponent or other function put on it.
So no y^2, y^3, √y, sin(y), ln(y) etc, just plain y (or whatever the variable is). dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)
